No way is he worth a 1st rounder.

We should deal the way they liked to deal on the Jackson trade.

He's out of contract so we will give you...what a 2nd rounder?, 3rd rounder?

We certainly don't owe them anything.

No club will pay a first rounder for him, he has barely been playing for Freo.

I still want him though.

Fact of the matter is, we need a shake up. We need a more dynamic and potent list and an injection of players who can finish their work.

I'd be showing Harmes, Jordan, T-Mac, Melksham, Hibberd, Smith and Tomlinson the door in order to get a couple of trades,host of new talent and keep exposing our kids.

We are completely vanilla  at the moment. Shut down Oliver or Trac and we wilt. Pressure us and we wilt.  

Whilst Collingwood treated their players the wrong way, their hard decisions look to be paying off. They are a list with realy X factor, excitement and they have such a great blend of attributes all over the field.

Loved him in his draft year and he’s obviously talented. He’s struggled at afl level so far, but he was very good off half back on the weekend. 

Out of contract and hasn’t performed so shouldn’t cost much in a trade. I’d be all for getting him in as we need more players with pace and skill to compliment our one paced overly inside midfield.

He has been playing well for a few weeks and if we want him and he wants us and especially good mate Kozzie, he will be a Demon.

Didn’t look so crash hot when we dominated them for 80% of the game 2 weeks ago.

They were one kick away from being beaten at home by the 8th team on the weekend. It’s seems flashy and exciting because they come from behind a lot, but their forward line is as much of a problem as ours, and there’s some clear weak links in their system. 

good player. Freo have a lot of good small forwards so hard to break through. 

I’d offer a second rounder

the problem would be finding a team that want these blokes

garage sale at the G. of the seven you might get a trade out of two

Their record since the halfway mark of last season speaks for itself. 

No team is unbeatable, and if you followed them I'm sure you would have noted their brigade of missing players and if Binman followed them he would probably say they're in a heavy loading phase, hence the drop off. 

We devised a plan to beat them at a time when they were vulnerable and due. 

I still think their list is much better balanced and placed, regardless of the fact that we beat them.

Factor in their incredible MCG advantage…less travel ..even playing a team off the bye when they were off the bye..their obnoxious but loud crowd who influence umpiring decisions..I.e. against Adelaide. I can only dream what we could achieve with their fixture .. Apart from all that …totally disagree with your summation of their list vs ours .

How many premierships has Colinwood won in the last 12 years? Actually, how many have they won since '58?

Who?

Exactly. You know there is little to excite in this years free trade period when the headliner is a reserves player at a club currently 11th on the ladder.

Fair few in here buying the Collingwood fapfest in the media. Their best is good, but our best is better.

Problem is we haven’t really seen our best this year. Why not?

For me, this sums it up: apart from the odd game, we have been a bit ‘meh’ for some time. It’s good that we have shored the defence up again, but it would be nice to see a bit of swashbuckle to go with it.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
